Thank you for sharing your experience.

I genuinely wish things had turned out differently for you.

I understand how painful it must be to look back and realize that certain protections may not have worked the way they should have. Your message speaks volumes, and your willingness to highlight possible failings can be helpful to others, especially those still struggling.

That said, I also need to be very honest with you.

Your original complaint was closed a year ago because we didn't receive any responses from you despite multiple follow-ups. As clearly stated in the final update:

"The player can reopen this complaint at any time."

That’s absolutely true in the context of an ongoing or unresolved issue. But once a complaint remains inactive for such a long time, in this case more than 12 months, it becomes what we call a cold case. Not because your story doesn’t matter, but because we simply can’t do a proper investigation anymore. Timelines are blurred, support systems have changed, logs may be missing, and we're not equipped to re-litigate events from a year ago with the required level of detail and fairness.

You mentioned a very serious sum lost and signs of problematic gambling. I sincerely hope your outreach to the MGA will help shed more light on what happened and lead to a resolution. We also strongly recommend seeking professional help if you haven’t already. Complaints can address past damages, but support is what really helps with long-term recovery.

Take care of yourself and thank you for encouraging others to keep their documentation. That part is absolutely spot on.

Thank you for your response and honesty. I understand that time impacts how a case is handled, but I feel compelled to clarify the seriousness and similarity of my situation to this resolved case, where the player also faced the same arguments from Platincasino — namely, that Red Rhino was the responsible operator — only for Platincasino to later acknowledge their responsibility and process a resolution.

Like that player, I received the exact same system-generated email stating that unverified accounts are subject to a €150 deposit limit. Despite this, I was allowed to deposit and lose €23,798 in a single morning, across multiple Red Rhino/Latiform-operated sites. This not only violates their stated KYC policy but also raises severe concerns regarding AML and responsible gambling compliance.

Here is a detailed breakdown of all deposits made on the same morning, while my account was still unverified:

This was allowed without verification, without intervention, and despite support chats where I expressed distress. That morning included asking for a bonus after losing €6,000, showing desperation and clear signs of problematic gambling behavior — but instead of receiving help, I was permitted to keep depositing across sister brands I was already self-excluded from.

The system, safeguards, and responsible gaming policies completely failed, and I am now asking: what protections actually exist if this is possible?

I'm honestly sorry, but without a proper investigation of the case, I'm unable to come up with a concrete response for you. I can only summarize what you told me, which is just one part of the situation; without a precise understanding of the casino's perspective, I cannot draw any significant conclusions.

I still respect your efforts, and I would like to provide a comparison, as the situation is somewhat more complex at this moment:

You said you were able to deposit and lose €23,798 in a single morning across multiple Red Rhino/Latiform-operated sites, despite your account being unverified. According to the automated email you received, unverified accounts are supposed to have a €150 deposit limit. You were still allowed to deposit far beyond that, which you see as a serious violation of the casino’s KYC policy and a potential AML issue.

I get that; it seems the casino system (because each casino is a different casino) has serious flaws.

You also mentioned that you had previously self-excluded from some of the brands under this operator, but you were able to keep playing on other sister sites (that's sadly a business standard and in order to be automatically self-excluded within the whole group, it must be allowed and mentioned in the Terms and Conditions, I'm afraid).

During this session, you contacted customer support after losing €6,000 and asked for a bonus, which you describe as a clear sign of distress and possible gambling addiction. Still, no one intervened, and you were allowed to continue gambling. (Well, the support probably made a bad guess and to avoid that in the future, instead of asking for a bonus. Admit losing control and ask the account to be closed due to gambling addiction.)

You’re now asking what kind of player protection actually exists if this kind of situation can occur. In your view, the system failed on every level: verification, deposit limits, self-exclusion, and responsible gambling intervention. Could be.

For context, there was a complaint submitted a year ago. But in that case, you failed to provide any evidence that you had informed the casino about your addiction. then sadly stopped responding, and the complaint was closed because the claims couldn’t be verified.

Your current update is different in key ways, I'd say. You provided a detailed list of your deposits. You referenced a system message about the €150 limit. You showed how those limits were bypassed across multiple connected brands.

Compared to the older case, what you submitted is more structured, detailed, and better supported. Based on what you've shared, your complaint raises serious concerns about how the casino’s responsible gambling and KYC policies were applied in your situation. I agree.

Here are a few tips, if you don't mind :

• Not every casino group allows players to self-exclude per a single request. Always consult the casino rules or ask the support.
• In order to self-exclude properly, do not ask for a bonus; instead, admit you're losing control due to gambling addiction and send a proper request in accordance with the steps described in the rules.

I’ll wait for the MGA response.

Got it. We will be here if you want to share its decision.

Stay well.

How can this casino have a score of 8 points? I have checked their website and all of the countries from where the posters of this discussions hail from are restricted countries??? Is this a trap to later confiscate money and ban players?

Also my own deposit must be wagered 3 times, I have never even heard of such a thing.

If you are interested in knowing better about how we review all the online casinos, please read about it here.

The wagering of the deposit is nothing unusual, and it is set due to the AML policy, you know.

Ladies and Gentlemen

I hereby file a formal complaint against the operator of the website www.platincasino.com, Latiform BV (company number 160604, Scharlooweg 39, Willemstad, Curaçao). The operator is licensed by the Curaçao Gaming Authority under license number OGL/2024/163/0190.

1) Subject of the complaint

I am not receiving a payout of €4,000. The payout was requested on February 22, 2026, and is listed in my player account as "Pending / CryptoProcessing". It has neither been rejected nor canceled, but is effectively blocked.

2) Verification status (confirmed)

I uploaded extensive verification documents (identity, address, proof of payment). These were accepted by the system (green confirmations).

There is no clearly defined, overt KYC deficiency that would justify a full payout.

3) Disproportionate additional demand

Platincasino also requires verification or proof of cancellation of a credit/debit card that:

no longer exists and

To my knowledge, it has not been successfully used for deposits.

At the same time, the requested payout was not made via card, but via crypto.

Despite repeated requests, I was not provided with any transaction proof (date, amount, payment provider/PSP, reference) that proves this card is even relevant.

4) Systematic pattern

The transaction history shows multiple withdrawal recalls/rejections via different methods (bank, crypto), regardless of the amount. This suggests not a single KYC issue, but a systematic delay in withdrawals.

5) Regulatory assessment

According to general supervisory principles, KYC/AML measures must:

must be necessary, targeted and proportionate,

and must not block payments with irrelevant or objectively unfulfillable requirements.

If the operator deems a payment method relevant, the burden of proof lies with the operator. These conditions are not met here.

6) Application

I request that the Curaçao Gaming Authority investigate the matter and take appropriate action, in particular:

Instruction for the immediate release of the payment exceeding EUR 4,000, or

The operator is obligated to provide specific transaction evidence demonstrating the relevance of the requested card.

7) Evidence

I can provide the following upon request or as an attachment:

Screenshot of the €4,000 payout – Status: Pending / CryptoProcessing

Transaction history with multiple recalls/rejections

Overview of uploaded and accepted verification documents

Support emails with the card/cancellation request

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

hiermit reiche ich eine formelle Beschwerde gegen den Betreiber der Website www.platincasino.com, die Latiform B.V. (Unternehmensnummer 160604, Scharlooweg 39, Willemstad, Curaçao), ein. Der Betreiber ist lizenziert durch die Curaçao Gaming Authority unter der Lizenznummer OGL/2024/163/0190.

1) Gegenstand der Beschwerde

Mir wird eine Auszahlung in Höhe von 4.000 EUR nicht ausgezahlt. Die Auszahlung wurde am 22.02.2026 beantragt und wird im Spielerkonto als „Ausstehend / CryptoProcessing" geführt. Sie ist weder abgelehnt noch storniert, wird jedoch faktisch blockiert.

2) Verifizierungsstatus (belegt)

Ich habe umfangreiche Verifizierungsdokumente hochgeladen (Identität, Adresse, Zahlungsnachweise). Diese wurden im System akzeptiert (grüne Bestätigungen).

Es besteht kein klar definierter, offener KYC-Mangel, der eine vollständige Auszahlung rechtfertigen würde.

3) Unverhältnismäßige Zusatzforderung

Platincasino verlangt zusätzlich die Verifizierung bzw. einen Kündigungsnachweis einer Kredit-/Debitkarte, die:

nicht mehr existiert und

nach meiner Kenntnis nicht erfolgreich für Einzahlungen genutzt wurde.

Gleichzeitig erfolgte die beantragte Auszahlung nicht über Karte, sondern über Krypto.

Trotz mehrfacher Nachfrage wurde mir kein Transaktionsnachweis (Datum, Betrag, Zahlungsanbieter/PSP, Referenz) vorgelegt, der belegt, dass diese Karte überhaupt relevant ist.

4) Systematisches Muster

Der Transaktionsverlauf zeigt mehrfache Rückrufe/Ablehnungen von Auszahlungen über unterschiedliche Methoden (Bank, Krypto), unabhängig von Betragshöhe. Dies deutet nicht auf ein einzelnes KYC-Problem, sondern auf eine systematische Verzögerung von Auszahlungen hin.

5) Regulatorische Bewertung

Nach allgemeinen Aufsichtsgrundsätzen müssen KYC/AML-Maßnahmen:

erforderlich, zielgerichtet und verhältnismäßig sein,

und dürfen Auszahlungen nicht durch irrelevante oder objektiv nicht erfüllbare Anforderungen blockieren.

Wenn der Betreiber ein Zahlungsmittel als relevant einstuft, liegt die Darlegungs- und Beweislast beim Betreiber. Diese Voraussetzungen sind hier nicht erfüllt.

6) Antrag

Ich bitte die Curaçao Gaming Authority um Prüfung und um entsprechende Maßnahmen, insbesondere:

Anweisung zur unverzüglichen Freigabe der Auszahlung über 4.000 EUR, oder

Verpflichtung des Betreibers zur Vorlage konkreter Transaktionsnachweise, die die Relevanz der geforderten Karte belegen.

7) Beweismittel

Ich kann auf Anfrage bzw. im Anhang bereitstellen:

Screenshot der Auszahlung 4.000 EUR – Status: Ausstehend / CryptoProcessing

Transaktionsverlauf mit mehrfachen Rückrufen/Ablehnungen

Übersicht der hochgeladenen und akzeptierten Verifizierungsdokumente

Support-E-Mails mit der Karten-/Kündigungsanforderung

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Nico Harbich.

Have you confronted them with the fact that you have never used the card for deposit, please?

What was their reply?

Also, to submit a complaint to the licensing authority, you have to do it through their channels, actually.

Here we can help you only to mediate your complaint to the casino.
